Everything will change this summer when Marvel kicks off its Secret Wars event, so the publisher wanted to make sure it took the opportunity to try to push things even further. While Iron Man, Hulk and the other Avengers will be dominating the movie box office for Disney with the Marvel Studios sequel “Age of Ultron,” Marvel Comics said Friday that it will be pushing aside the dude-dominated superhero team for a new squad consisting of only female heroes.

The new team, called A-Force, includes X-Men mutant Dazzler, She-Hulk, and Runaways member Nico Minoru, among others. With the Marvel universe completely changing, it means the Avengers will cease to be, as well. A-Force will fill that leadership void.
